3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0ca06c0857aee11911f91621db14498496f2c2cd upstream.
The 0x1000 bit of the MCACOD field of machine check MCi_STATUS
registers is only defined for corrected errors (where it means
that hardware may be filtering errors see SDM section 15.9.2.1).
For uncorrected errors it may, or may not be set - so we should mask
it out when checking for the architecturaly defined recoverable
error signatures (see SDM 15.9.3.1 and 15.9.3.2)
